"The universe could so easily have remained lifeless and simple -just physics and chemistry, just the scattered dust of the cosmic explosion that gave birth to time and space. The fact that it did not -the fact that life evolved out of literally nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved literally out of nothing -is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice. And even that is not the end of the matter. Not only did evolution happen: it eventually led to beings capable of comprehending the process by which they comprehend it." Richard ... Read Full Story

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins tours the Natural History Museum at Oxford University and asks and answers some of the big questions about our existence on Planet Earth. A key focus is the impact of Darwin and "The Origin of the Species" on modern thought. A tour de force -don't miss this! Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene , which popularised the gene-centered view of evolution and introduced the term meme into the lexicon. In 1982, he made a widely cited contribution to the ... Read Full Story

Professor Richard Dawkins is a ConLib thinker, if you will pardon the oxymoron, who believes in the Gospel of Darwin, which he believes is proven scientific fact even though it is not. Dawkins postulates that life landed on Earth from space. Exactly how it got into space in the first place he could not explain to Ben Stein, who interviewed Dawkins for his documentary Expelled: No thinking allowed. Undeterred and indeed, it seemed from the movie, unaware of his vast ignorance, Dawkins now proposes to instruct the unthinking Mohamedan mind into belief in evolution, to turn them from Allah the moon god to Darwin, ...

If I ask you what group of organisms is an exhibition of evolution at its finest, what would you say? Most people, I think, would say human beings, or at least apex predators. After all, we have staggering intellect compared to our prey items and clearly dominate the planet, eat what we will, etc. Not only that, we're insanely complex. Ask some scientists, and they might give you any number of answers. Cockroaches are likely to exist long after we do, as are rodents, so maybe they get the title. Or, being scientists, they might be biased to whatever organism they study. Maybe algae ... Read Full Story

Last month I was sent a review copy of one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read: Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species: A Graphic Adaptation by Michael Keller and Nicolle Rager Fuller. Although, I haven’t finished the book yet, I think today, the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin, is an appropriate day to talk about it. The book is a wonderful adaptation of the Darwin’s influential original. It...
